AFSC 3S2X1

CAREER FIELD EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLAN

Part I

Preface

1. This Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) is a comprehensive document that

identifies education/training requirements, support resources, and minimum core task

requirements for this specialty. The CFETP will provide personnel a clear career path and will

establish formality in all aspects of career field training. NOTE: When applicable, civilians

occupying associate positions may use the CFETP Part II to support duty position qualification

training.

2. The CFETP consists of two parts; both parts of the plan are used to plan, manage, and control

training within the career field.

2.1. Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty. Section A

explains how everyone will use the plan; Section B identifies career field progression

information, duties and responsibilities, training strategies, and career field path; Section C

associates each level with specialty qualifications (knowledge, education, training, and other);

Section D indicates resource constraints. Some examples are funds, manpower, equipment, and

facilities.

2.2. CFETP Part II includes the following: Section A, the Course Objective List; Section B,

Support Material; Section C, the Training Course Index; and Section D, the list of MAJCOM

Unique Requirements. Section E, identifies the Specialty Training Standard (STS), which

includes duties, tasks, technical references to support training, Air Education and Training

Command (AETC) conducted training, core tasks, wartime tasks, and correspondence course

requirements.

3. Using guidance provided in the CFETP will ensure AFSC 3S2X1 personnel receive training

at the appropriate point in their career. At the unit level, supervisors and trainers will use CFETP

Part II to identify, plan, and conduct training commensurate with the overall goals of this guide.
